No bug Problems with Linkedin

Hello,

We do not know since when, but on this website we cannot publish on Linkedin and the online tool gives us a 403 error.

I give you an example of a news item:  www.goierri.eus/noticias/ekintzailetza/2...za-kultura-sustatzen

Thanks.

Hi Josean,

what I see if that all tags are correct on the page. When doing an inspection with facebook debugger you can see that all is correct:
developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/?q=h...za-kultura-sustatzen

But it looks like your server (or hosting provider) has some kind of firewall / bot protection enabled blocking access from bots (like the linkedin bot / crawler)

I can tell because when I use a bot it gives the 403 error: wheregoes.com/trace/20241272161/

Is that something that rings a bell / you can check?

Great! It was the Plesk firewall

Cool, good you got that sorted out.
Was it a plesk firewall rule or a specific ModSecurity (Web Application Firewall) rule?

Right

Which one of the two? What did you configure differntly in plesk?

Sorry MODSECURITY

which rule did you disable in mod security? Asking for building up some knowledge when somebody else runs into this

I add this RULE

SecRule REQUEST_HEADERS:User-Agent "(?i)^(?=.*(?:Google|Uptime|Bing|Plesk|LinkedInBot|TwitterBot|Wheregoes)).*$" "id:1746273,phase:1,nolog,pass,setvar:tx.block_bot=0"

Nice!

Thanks for sharing Josean.
